– the oil in the hydraulic axle is at the correct level (fig. 5); the correct level is 12 mm underneath the
bottom of the tank (fig. 6);
Fill the fuel tank using a funnel with very fine filter (4, fig. 10).
Adjust the seat by using the lever fig. 11.
STARTING UP THE ENGINE
-
Sit down on the operator seat.
- Put the forward lever into the STOP position (2, fig. 3).
- Switch off the PTO (switch no. 4, fig.1 in the OFF position).
- Push the throttle half way in (5, fig. 3).
- If the engine is cold, use the choke (6, fig. 3). Turn the ignition key (1, fig. 1).
- Once the engine has started, turn off the choke and wait for a few minutes to allow the engine to
warm up.
N.B. When travelling with the mower from one place to another, you are advised to keep the cutting deck
at the maximum height setting.
SWITCHING ON THE HEADLAMP
To switch on the headlamp, put the ignition key in the second position (fig.18, position A)
IMPORTANT
Switch on the headlamp only once the engine has started up to avoid battery discharge.
STARTING WORK
–
Choose the desired cutting height by means of the lever 8 fig. 2. Suitably accelerate the engine and
engage the PTO lever (no. 4, fig.1). Gently operate the forward travel lever (2, fig. 3) and start work.
To stop, return the forward travel lever to the stop position.
– The lever (2, fig. 3) is also used to reverse. When it is moved back, the machine moves backwards;
always operate it gently.
PARKING BRAKE
To engage the parking brake lift the loop up (10, fig. 3) and hook the lever.
To adjust the parking brake use the register (fig. 5).
USEFUL RULES FOR EFFICIENT USE
1)
Never strain the engine: when fumes are emitted from the exhaust it means that it is being strained.
Slow down.
2) Do not leave the machine out in the rain.
3) Frequently sharpen the mower blades: the cut will be better and the engine will not be strained as
much.
4) Check the land before mowing to make sure that there are no stones, sticks or foreign bodies.
5) Keep the engine at peak rpm during mowing, adjust the speed according to the height of the grass.
6) Keep the grilles above the engine and the cooling fins of the hydrostatic axle (fig. 4 - 5) clean.
CUTTING POSITIONS
The cutting position is adjusted using the lever 8 fig. 2.
The deck can be set in 4 different cutting positions from 35 to 80 mm and one travel position in which the
blade disengages automatically.
8
Climber 7.10 / Translation of the original instructions
In case of uneven ground, humps or dips, the deck should be kept in the highest cutting position to
prevent knocks by the blade.
SLOPING GROUND
If possible, steep slopes must be mown in the up/down direction, taking great care when turning that the
wheels upstream do not strike obstacles (stones, branches, roots, etc.) which might cause the machine
to overturn, or lead to loss of control.
Assess the conditions and take care if the ground and grass are damp since the machine might slip.
Downhill, set off at low speed and do not pass over dry or cut grass since the wheels lose grip.
INTERVENTION OF SAFETY DEVICES
Remember that the engine will stop whenever:
– The operator gets up from the seat.
The engine will not start up if:
– The blade engaging switch is at ON setting (4, fig. 1).
– Nobody is sitting in the driver’s seat.
– If the forward lever isn’t at STOP setting (2, fig. 3).
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION
Remove the key and disconnect the plug before performing any cleaning, maintenance
or repair operation. Always wear suitable clothing and working gloves.
IMPORTANT!
Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant product!
Efficient maintenance and correct lubrication help keep the machine in perfect working order.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook; in all cases the oil
must be changed after the first 5 working hours, and then every 50 hours or every season,
together with the oil filter (fig. 12, oil drain plug; please, use a second key in the fixing part).
At every oil change, replace the engine oil filter (fig. 13).
The first precaution is to ensure that the engine is correctly serviced with the air filter, cooling fins and
cylinder head clean and the oil at the correct level.
Check the air filter every 4 hours, or even more often in very dusty environments.
Check the engine cooling intake grille (fig. 4).
HYDROSTATIC AXLE
With the engine cold, check that the expansion tank (fig. 5) is empty.
Clean the hydraulic motor cooling fans often, every 4 working hours in summer when conditions are very
dusty (fig. 5).
Replace oil after the first 50 working hours, then every 200 hours, use 10W60 engine oil; quantity: 1.85
lt. For the replacement follow the instructions given:
1) remove the two plugs fig. 14;
2) remove the plug using a screwdriver fig. 15;
3) screw the two caps fig. 14 (tightening torque 13-17 N.m);
4) add oil, fix the cap fig. 15;
5) make sure the expansion tank is empty, the correct oil level is 12 mm underneath the bottom of
the expansion tank (fig. 6).
FRONT WHEEL AXLE
Grease the wheel pivot pins (fig. 16) every 20 hours.
Lubricate the steering joints.
9
Climber 7.10 / Translation of the original instructions
Lubricate the bushing in the belt stretcher of cutting deck- engine belt (fig. 16/A).
AIR FILTER
Check the air filter every 4 hours, or more frequently if working in a very dusty environment (fig. 8).
CHECKING THE BLADES AND CUTTING DECK
A blunt blade tears the grass, therefore the cutting edges of both blades must be sharpened. To remove
a blade, take hold of it firmly, wearing work gloves, and unscrew the central screw (3 fig. 9),
remembering that the screw has a right-hand thread. Sharpen both cutting edges using a medium-grain
grinding wheel and check that the blade is balanced by standing it on a round bar inserted in the central
hole.
Fit the two cutting blades following the diagram in fig. 9.
CAUTION!
Tighten the fixing screw (3 fig. 9) firmly.
Always replace damaged or crooked blades; never attempt to repair them! When fitting, always follow
the diagram fig. 9.
ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BLADES! If they are worn they can be turned round since they have two
cutting edges. Always check that the blade bolts are not worn or damaged.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DECK
Levelness of the cutting deck is essential in order to obtain an evenly mown lawn.
Park the mower on a flat surface and check that the tyre pressure is correct. Adjust the 4 adjustment
devices (fig. 17 – 17A), so that the edge of the cutting plate is at the same distance from the floor, 110
mm, on both sides (with the operator sitting on board and the cutting deck in the lowest position, fig.
18/A).
If you are unable to level off the deck, contact an Authorised Grillo After-Sales Service Centre.
BLADE - ENGINE BELT
If the belt becomes twisted or comes off, make all the checks and adjustments illustrated in fig. 18/A,
keeping the deck at the lowest position.
Take care when positioning the belt guides; move them towards the belt, checking the deck at the
various height settings (A, fig 19).
HYDROSTATIC AXLE - ENGINE BELTS
These belts are self-adjusting and do not require any adjustment. Simply check the spring tension. To
replace the belts, release the tension spring (fig. 21).
BLADE ROTATION
Rotation is started and stopped using the switch 4 in fig. 1.
When rotation is engaged, the engine must be running at medium rpm and the machine must not be in
the grass for cutting. Never start the blades with the engine at maximum rpm.
The machine is equipped with an electromagnetic clutch which also brakes the blade during
disengagement.
The blades are also disengaged automatically when the cutting height adjuster lever is moved to the
highest position.
CAUTION!!!
To reactivate the blade, put the lever no. 8 fig. 2 into the desired cut position and
press the PTO button (fig. 1 n. 4)
The blade must stop within 5 seconds, if this is not the case, adjust the 3 nuts of the electromagnetic
clutch, placing a 0.3 mm feeler gauge under the brake plate.
N.B. This operation must be carried out by an authorized after-sales service centre.
10
Climber 7.10 / Translation of the original instructions
CHANGING THE BELTS
The movement is transmitted from the motor to the hydraulic transmission and to the blades by means of
two v-belts. Replace the belts as soon as they show signs of wear!
Their replacement and subsequent adjustment are fairly complex procedures and must be carried out by
an Authorised After-Sales Service Centre.
For cutting deck drive belt, the three belt guides beside the deck pulley have to be removed (A, fig. 19);
release the belt stretcher spring (fig. 20).
ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BELTS!
TRACTION RELEASE LEVER
The traction release device is located at the back of the machine (fig. 22); if the machine breaks down, to
allow it to be towed or moved by hand, move the lever to idle position (B, fig. 22). In the position (A)
shown in fig. 22 the machine is in working condition.

After mowing, disengage the blades and drive back to base with the cutting deck in the highest position.
To stop, move the travel lever to the STOP position (2, fig. 3), set the throttle lever on the minimum rpm,
switch off the engine by turning the key (1, fig. 1) and lower the deck to the lowest position.

CLEANING
Clean the outside of the mower after each use, particularly the engine grille and the exhaust zone.
STORAGE AND PROLONGED PERIODS OF DISUSE
Store the mower in a dry place, away from atmospheric agents, and preferably cover with a sheet. If the
mower is not going to be used for a long period (over 1 month), disconnect the positive battery cable and
follow the instructions given in the engine manual. Also lubricate all of the articulated joints.
Regularly check that the battery voltage does not drop below 12,5 Volts. If it does, recharge the battery.
Use the preservative additive for unleaded petrol. If the machine is to be out of use for more than 30
days, drain the fuel from the engine tank to prevent sticky deposits from forming in the fuel intake system
or in vital parts of carburettor. To protect the engine we advise you to use the Briggs & Stratton fuel
additive, available at all Briggs & Stratton authorised services centres. Add the additive to the fuel in the
tank or in the fuel container. Run the engine a little to circulate the additive through the carburettor. The
engine and carburettor can be stored for up to 24 months.
NB.: If no additive are used or the engine is running on petrol which contains alcohol, drain the fuel tank
and run the engine until there is no fuel left.
